Same is true if your church services are at 9:00 and 11:00 on Sunday. Or at 7:00 on Saturday night. The key is not the day or the time. What matters is that the service is a regularly scheduled event.<\/p>\n That would mean that any concerts or special musical presentations are not eligible under the exemption allowance. For those events, you will need to obtain a Performance License,<\/span> which you can do by clicking here and filling out the form.<\/p>\n The second part of the exemption allowance is where things get tricky for churches. If your church hires outside musicians (either instrumentalists or vocalists), then the church\u2019s exemption for the songs on which those players were employed is lost. This only applies to outside performers who are hired irregularly. It does not apply to any regular employees of the church. Most churches (and many publishers) don\u2019t understand this wrinkle in the US Copyright Law.<\/p>\n If you feel that you may be in violation of this provision, please contact us with any questions or concerns. Our efforts are always to work with churches on matters like this.<\/p>\n You can email us at licensing@fredbock.com<\/a> with any questions or concerns. You can also visit our FBPG Licensing Page here<\/span><\/a> to fill out a short form and submit a request for licensing music from any of our Fred Bock Publishing Group family of companies.<\/p>\n
